That's all that is posted so far!

CINCINNATI – The family of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, says he has died at age 82.

A statement from the family says he died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures. It doesn't say where he died.

Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon July 20, 1969. He radioed back to Earth the historic news of "one giant leap for mankind."

Armstrong and fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the moon, collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking photographs. In all, 12 Americans walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972.

...
but in his bio
it said that he had a son and a daughter, but the daughter died at 3yrs old from a brain tumor... which no other son was mention

Sad day makes me wonder if he ever stepped foot on that moon.

I remember watching him walk on the Moon in class as it happened. A truly remarkable achievement despite the nutters that disbelieve it. Where has that pioneering spirit gone in our society? RIP to a brave man.

I knew that walking on the moon would curse him.

Ditto.......We have lost a legend.....god speed..
